Having never played Carmageddon 2, I don't know if these are special modes or if those two copies are really the only ones. Either way, I spent the lesson focusing on that rather than paying attention.

Possibility of an extreme Holy Grail?
Now, I could be wrong, but in my Psychology Textbook, there was a chapter on learning. Almost as a side note, there was a bit on the effects of violent video games on college students. It seemed that developers came out with special versions of Carmageddon 2 just for this experiment- one in which hitting people makes you lose points, and another in which you can't hit anything.

Those modes definitely weren't in the game, so I guess they rigged them up specially for the experiment.
There was however a ton of controversy around the games launch (thanks to some tabloid paper rabble-rousing), so the game shipped with green-blooded zombies instead of regular pedestrians (but a patch could be bought on a bonus CD that would allow you to put humans back in).

Only you guys in Europe got screwed with the zombies. We had regular raspberry jam filled people here in the US. I bet the special copies of the game were just burned on CDR and it would be hard tell if it was an actual original made for the study.Bootaaay wrote: There was however a ton of controversy around the games launch (thanks to some tabloid paper rabble-rousing), so the game shipped with green-blooded zombies instead of regular pedestrians (but a patch could be bought on a bonus CD that would allow you to put humans back in).

It wasn't even everywhere in Europe. I know that Belgium got the normal version as well.
Germany had the zombie version.

Ah ok. I knew Germany and England got the green zombie version. Silly me for generalizing Europe from there.pjvdg wrote:It wasn't even everywhere in Europe. I know that Belgium got the normal version as well.

Re: Possibility of an extreme Holy Grail?
Yeah, some games used green for blood, and also I remember that Wolfenstein 3D was banned in Germany for its violent content and reference to Nazis and Hitler; as if Wolfenstein 3D would stir the Germanic souls to repeat their past...
